These cunts just need to fuck off and accept they’re shit and the past is the past now ffs.
But,but this is Manchester United you know

They were shit in the 70s and 80s bar a couple of cup final wins with a succession of shit managers. I put the GPC years down to a blip and normal service has been restored
 
I watched the whole match because I knew I would be in for a treat. Hannibal stood out. I honestly believe he gave the worst display I have ever seen by a midfield player at any level. No idea of where to run, or to control the ball, or pass it cleanly, and no awareness of the rest of the pitch. To call him a headless chicken would be an insult to headless chickens. Happy days.
Christ... I listened to a bit of 606 at weekend and Robbie Savage said he's watched the Academy lads at the Swamp, and only Hannibal and Mainoo are good enough to step up... it's not looking good then! : )
 
I have just taken a look at Red Cafe the pitch fawkes are out, and they are rightly questioning the recruitment strategy, which most other football fans have been doing for ages some of their signings have been baffling to say the least, but their client media pals do their job in hyping them up
 
He's a solid long-term manager who is great at building slowly with strong emphasis on youth development. But he was a disaster at big-spending Chelsea. It will take United five to ten years to turn things round but their fanbase are not that patient.
I dont think it's fair to blame Potter for the mess that was Chelsea. Clearly there were points in his time there when the club were buying players and he had no idea. Hardly the ideal situation to assess him in. But overall I agree with your point. The Job wouldn't suit Potter. Utd have bigger issues than the manager.

Is Red Adair still alive?
 
Its what you get when you are spoon fed by pundits and journalists about how good, big , and brilliant they are as football club, when in actual fact they've gone back to being as average as they were before Ferguson turned up, they talk about the class of 92 like it was only ten years ago and not thirty. They cant handle the fact that are an extremely average football club these days-where players are only signing for the money and not the "prestige" or to play for the "worlds biggest football club". You've the likes of Beckham telling the world how big they are compared to little City, the Macaris of this world, the Crerands , the Evras keeping the "dream" alive for there pathetic entitled fan base. They don't even mourn 1958 anymore, as that has now firmly ran its course as their fanbase has got older.
Its easy for them to blame the Glazers, its their comfort blanket for mediocrity on and off the pitch, no complaints when Ferguson was spending their money when they were a well oiled machine, the more City have become successful, the more desperate their fanbase has become to blame the owners. Pep as ground that shower of shit into the ground, and for that alone he deserves a statue outside Mcr Town Hall.

Self entitled isn't a strong enough word to describe those delusional cunts.
 
Who's the laughing stock now, bitches!
I think of all the mocking songs we’ve sung towards them in recent years, ‘old trafford is falling down’ must sting the most, because it speaks of chronic and irreversible decline (and is rooted in reality), rather than short term superiority (which can be reversed).

Whatever pleasure any of them derived from our previous misfortune, cannot even begin to compare with how good this feels.

Especially when fans of other clubs are singing it in equal jest! :D

Putting that timeline in context, that the same gap in time between our title win in ‘68 and our relegation to the third tier.

What is even more galling -is that its okay for them to be mismanaged with crap owners and shite managers for a decade but doesn't get compared to the two decades of an absolute shambles our club was under Swales and subsequent owners. We went from being a genuine big 4 club in the 1970's to the laughing stock of football in the mid 90's. They should learn to be a little bit more humble the jumped up mother fuckers.

Stahp... the possibilities are too enticing to imagine.

Thought exactly the same when I heard the Geordies had been singing it! That must seriously add salt to the wound!

One thing that the media in this country never got, and media abroad certainly never get (nor do football fans in other European countries, in my experience), is how much United were intensely disliked by fans of virtually all other Premier League clubs (and not few in the Championship) by the end of their hegemony.
For all I know, we could arrive at the same point in the future, as being heartily detested by all and sundry. But I don't quite think so — at least, not to that point — because the media have not been ramming City down people's throats for years as some kind of model as to how a club should be run, and how football should be played. The ‘United ideology’, which amounted to a form of propaganda, was something to behold.
Could you for one second imagine Pep — or Pellegrini before him, or Mancini before him— dismissing Newcastle as a “little club”, even in the name of mind games? They made a rod for their own back.
